One person is killed on Mumbais streets every 15 hours, the most difficult chronicle in India. In an attempt to get a grasp on the chaos, the police are moving digital recording penalties electronically and installing CCTV. But will it stop people taking risks?

For 30 minutes after she was hit, Archana Pandya lay bleeding on a superhighway in the busy Mumbai suburb of Goregaon. The 22 -year-old, who had just started a new job, was on her behavior dwelling from make when she used the victim of a hit-and-run. She died of her injuries. There were a lot of beings there, and it happened right opposite a police station, but no one came forward to help, says her friend Siddharth Pandya. Its not the roads; in India, its the person or persons the hell is unsafe.

Pandya was one of 586 people killed in road accidents in Mumbai in 2015, the equivalent of one demise every 15 hours. Another 2,034 were seriously injured. The long response times of ambulances and emergency vehicles, working together with the unwillingness of bystanders to help street scapegoats for fear of being detained by police and infirmaries, contribute to slow, agonizing extinctions for hundreds of parties every year. As a make, Mumbai a city with roughly the same number of cars as London, but more than four times the number of street fatalities has become known as Indias crash capital. In 2015 there were 23,468 recorded transaction collisions: the highest in the two countries.

The citys urban geography has helped engender a culture of negligent driving. Vehicles zigzag through dense traffic jams, cutting paths, overtaking from the left or zipping past red lights. Drivers know that the penalties are small and the chances of getting caught are low. Numerous scoff at the relevant recommendations of wearing a seatbelt, while others casually take telephone calls and reaction verse contents as they navigate through the labyrinth of cars.

These lax attitudes and dangerous driving attires are spawned right from the driving measure, which exists primarily as a formality and is readily smoothed with a small bribe. Aditi Deopujari, a Mumbai resident who got her “drivers licence” in 2000, explains: I was part of a driving institution that had a setup with the Motor Vehicles Department[ which issues licences ]. I presented up and had some rule rounds, but never had to sit the quiz or had any written measure regarding the rules. I just got sided the licence. Another tenant, who asked to remain anonymous, says: I literally had to drive five metres forwards, and then five metres turn. That was it, I passed.

In an is making an effort to get a clutch on the chaos, Milind Bharambe, the heads of state of the traffic police, is presiding over a brand-new traffic control venture. The metropoli has given all transaction policeman electronic designs to concern penalties, and has installed 4,000 CCTV cameras at conjugations and signals. After five breaches, we are going to start taking away licences, says Bharambe, whose plan to digitise the traffic control organization takes cues from Prime Minister Narendra Modis digital India programme.

Watch, says police officer Prashant Prabhu, motioning towards a traffic light at a busy conjugation on the Mumbai marina. Across the road, the light is about to go from light-green to ruby-red. But just as he prophesies, automobiles accelerate through, hoping to cross the signal as the yellow flashings. Some keep driving even after the light-headed croaks red.

Signal jumping is the biggest offence at this conjunction, he says. Everyone guesses, the light-headed has just turned red-faced, let me to continue efforts to get through. None wants to wait.

Prabhu startles out and flags down a motorbike that has just sped through the red light. He asks for the equestrians licence, then attracts out a calculator-like invention, and flubs trying to enter his password into the brand-new machine. Eventually he perforates in the licence multitude and asks for a credit card to pay the 200 rupee( 2.40) penalty.

Sometimes parties refuse to give their driving licence. OK , no problem, we just employed their licence dish digit into the machine, and it will automatically send a fine to their telephone, he says. This path we have a record of all the traffic offences each move has committed.

As well as digitising transaction offences, his propose includes the more analogue solution of new hydraulic towing vans, which can move 4x4s until now, SUVs that had being severely parked or to participate in collisions had to be left on the road until their driver moved them. He has also invested in digital signboards to advise about roadworks or accidents. This is the first time that something like this is being done in the country.

One floor below Bharambes office, Kishore Shinde, the traffic polices firstly heads of state of multimedia, is checking on duos of uniformed police officer these are the officers tasked with using the new CCTV cameras to issue tickets and fines remotely. Shinde too oversees a new complaints system, which receives more than 300 contents from frustrated drivers every day.

The biggest problems are traffic jams , no parking, collisions, and petroleum sheds on the road leading, he says. Were making all the fines cashless, so moves can offer via charge card or mobile phone. We know there is corruption and bribery even in our own district, like there is from top to bottom everywhere in India. But once you compensate by charge card, that means we have a record of the busines. No police officer can just take a cut for themselves.

OMG, you guys. Today is already a great day. Nick Jonas’ “Find You” music video is lastly here, and it’s truly, really good. Nick Jonas, the international humankind of sexy, is always remarkable us with brand new music, and this time it’s something totally, absolutely classy. Jonas’ new chant, “Find You, ” is the sort of gentle carol to get you in the mood to dance on the beach with a cluster of attractive strangers. Jonas does that in the music video, and this is really stimulating for me. Can I do that? Is that what a beach day with Jonas is like? If so, sign me up.

Jonas descent “Find You” on Sept. 14, 2017, and the entire world started bobbing their premiers. We know where to find you, Nick Jonas. You can find him on the radio until forever because this song is catchy AF, y’all. So what does this music video actually signify? Who is it about, and why is he driving an expensive auto so close to the sea? Watch out, dude! One of the lyrics says, “I look for you in the center of the sun.” I have no clue what that could necessitate, but do not examine instantly at the sunshine, people. It’s not worth it to merely find a riddle girlfriend that stops concealing from you. No way.

This is Jonas’ second song to come out this summer, and we aren’t mad about it. The hymn, “Remember I Told You” was the catchy song released in May. It peculiarity Mike Posner and Anne Marie, and it showcased Jonas’ sultry voice. Mama like. Both songs are completely different, but these are sensual.

One thing is for certain, Jonas knows how to connect with his devotees. In October of 2016, he told

Heartbreak is a topic that a lot of people relate to — the challenges of the next steps in your life, and when some doors open, and how you approach the next ones opening … I realized pretty quickly that it was a lot of what my devotees could relate to. It’s nerve-wracking when[ the sensibilities] are as personal as the ones that I shared were. But I feel allayed when I use my writing as a behavior to treat — it’s exceedingly therapeutic.

Jonas is getting deep, and I like it.

Here are more lyrics to deeply analyze 😛 TAGEND

I took a pill but it didn’t facilitate me numbI see your look even when my seeings are shutBut I never genuinely know where to find you

I taste the words that keep falling out your mouthIf I could love you I would never put you downBut I never actually know where to find you

Where to find youWhere to find youBut I never really know where to find youTry, try, tryTry, try, tryTry, try, tryBut I never really know where to find you

I’m guessing, based on the music video, Jonas is stumbling through a sweltering, steamy desert all alone, and finally notices the beautiful California coast. Although one would assume the first stop “wouldve been” directly into the giant body of water, Jonas instead dances with all the beautiful women working in the beach. Hey, we all have our priorities. Is he looking for that special woman “hes losing” long ago? Is he searching for himself? Oh, Jonas. You are a mysterious man.

At the end of the video, Jonas hops into a Lyft on the beach and leaves. Yes, he gets into a freakin’ Lyft. I couldn’t believe it either, but it happened. Does that have intend, or is it clever concoction placement? Probably a little bit of both, frankly. Although Jonas never seems to find who he’s looking for, the music video is a yummy treat.

Now, let’s all get out there and shake our hips to this sexy little song and find our inner dance! Afterall, we’re all looking for something.

Sgt Paul Cording from North Yorkshire Police said: “She’d managed to squeeze as much as she could in the car, including the dogs and two other fowls, both falcons, but she didn’t given sufficient room for the owl.

The second story was about NFL defensive end Chris Long, who gave his first six game checks to fund scholarships for students in his hometown of Charlottesville, Virginia. Then according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, he gave his final 10 game checks to launch Pledge 10 for Tomorrow, a campaign to “promote educational equity and opportunity for underserved youth” in the three cities he’s played for ― St. Louis, Boston and now Philadelphia.

Obama’s final share was the story of Jahkil Jackson, a 10-year-old on an intrepid mission to help the homeless population in Chicago. The Chicago Tribune article details the boy’s “stash of blessing bags — packages filled with socks, toiletries and snacks,” which he insists his parents keep “in the car at all times.”

Obama’s final message was to encourage Americans to do something.

“All across America people chose to get involved, get engaged and stand up. Each of us can make a difference, and all of us ought to try. So go keep changing the world in 2018,” he wrote.

Stranger Things season two will ramp up the 80 s nostalgia

Poor Will Byers might have been rescued from the dark alternate dimension that is beginning to bleed into the town of Hawkins, Indiana( otherwise known as the Upside Down) in the Netflix smash. But it ogles as if his ordeal was still not over. As our gang of pre-teens take a trip to the local arcade to play Don Bluths Dragons Lair video game, Will suddenly recognizes the Upside Down flash into world, with himself once again inside it. Whats more, a brand-new, larger monster 10 occasions the dimensions of the Demogorgon from season one and with at least six extremities appears to be marauding through the darkened skies.

The fact that this is revealed to the gothic musical stress of Michael Jacksons Thriller terminated with Vincent Price doomy yarn from the classic 1983 John Landis video combined with our heroes garmenting up as the Ghostbusters to carry out their paranormal investigations, exactly forms it all the cooler. Is that an actual ghost capture?

Michelle Pfeiffer will join Ant-Man and The Wasp

Pfeiffer was announced as Janet Van Dyne, the original Wasp in the comic books, at Marvels panel on 22 July. She will appear in Peyton Reeds upcoming sequel Ant-Man and the Wasp, as the mother of the brand-new Wasp, Evangeline Lilys Hope Van Dyne, and ex-partner of the original Ant-Man, Michael Douglass Hank Pym.

Could there be The Walking Dead without zombies?

Season eight of the zombie apocalypse indicate appears as if it will be all about the war between Ricks adherents, backed up by King Ezekels heavily armoured lineage, and the Saviours, led by everybodys favourite nonchalant sociopath, Negan. But after roughly four and a half times of viciou warfare, its the final fire of Andrew Lincolns Rick Grimes, apparently a decade older and waking up in a hospital bottom, that leaves us with the most questions. Is this some kind of flash-forward to a future without zombies?

Ben Afflecks reign as the dark cavalier isnt over just yet

It hasnt been the easiest experience for Affleck since he signed on to play the dark knight. Pitting the DC Extended Universes two biggest brutes against each other in Batman v Superman: Dawning of Justice turned out to be a really bad direction to propel a superhero cinematic world. And while Affleck amazed as the caped crusader, he found himself battling against both Zack Snyders wrongheaded rendering of Gothams shadowy supporter and the Watchmen chairmen convoluted and unwieldy attempts at world-building.

Let me be very clear, said Affleck. I am the luckiest guy in the world. Batman is the coolest its participation in any world, DC or Marvel. The actor also said he would be an parrot on the sand for Matt Reeves, whose standing in Hollywood could not be higher in the wake of his exultant shepherding of the second and third instalments of the current Planet of the Apes trilogy.

The Hulk will find his spokesperson in Thor: Ragnarok

The green machine has been a part of the Marvel cinematic cosmo for the best part of a decade, but weve scarcely heard him mutter more than the peculiar term in all that time. Now, following Mark Ruffalos suggestions that the superheros temperament is beginning to merge with that of Bruce Banner, the brand-new Comic-Con trailer for Thor: Ragnarok showcases a Hulk whos unexpectedly capable of entire convicts, as he is in some comic book iterations. While a Hulk solo movie still looks a long way off, this is gonna be a pandering development for devotees of the sulky behemoth, and proposes Ragnaroks cribbing from the classic 2006 graphic fiction Planet Hulk isnt simply limited to the inclusion of Sakaar and all those monumental gladiator battles.

Star Trek: Discoverys new hero is Spocks sister

You might conclude Leonard Nimoys pointy-eared alien would have mentioned a human sibling at some stage during his near half-century stint in the persona, but apparently CBSs new infinite tale will address the previous absence of Sonequa Martin-Greens Star Fleet first officer Michael Burnham from official canon at some item during the course of its firstly season. The Comic-Con panel for the depict on 22 July been demonstrated that Burnham, who is female but has purposely been given a male given name, already adopted by Spocks Vulcan father Sarek, here played by Gotham and True Blood alumnus James Frain, as a child.

The new trailer divulges Discovery will focus on a looming contradictions between the Federation and a resurgent Klingon empire. Burnham is second in dictation on the USS Shenzhou, whose captain is Michelle Yeohs Philippa Georgiou. The 15 -episode show takes plaza a decade before the events of the first Star Trek TV evidence, and is solely separate from the reset timeline currently being followed in the big-screen instalments. There is no word yet for purposes of determining whether Spock himself is likely to make an appearance.

What kind of a movie would the original Blade Runner have been without Rutger Hauers overwhelming final monologue as the expiring Roy Batty? It seems were about to find out, as the weekend board for Denis Villeneuves Blade Runner 2049 divulged the replicants of mid-2 1st century LA now have an open-ended lifespan. A new timeline available to read online here replenishes in the gaps between the events of 2019, seen in Ridley Scotts doom-laden sci-fi classic, and the new chapter. We discover that the Tyrell Corporation released a new pattern of replicant, the Nexus 8, in 2020 to supersede the decommissioned Nexus 6s. These was later switched, in 2036, to the presumably safer Nexus 9s, which likewise have no restraint on their lifespans.

How does this feed into the age-old conundrum over whether Harrison Fords Rick Deckard is himself a replicant? Well, it certainly suggests that both he and Rachel might readily have been age-unlimited paradigms, though that would not explain why Deckard himself appears to have been subject to a very human ageing process. What it does do is remove from the Blade Runner world the terrific pathos of the replicants short lives, surely a analogy for the brevity of the human condition. As Edward James Olmoss Gaff tells Deckard, at the end of the original movie: Its too bad she wont live, but then again who does? Such symbolism now seems to have been itself lost in time, like rips in rain.

The robots will continue to wreak retaliate in Westworld season two

After mass host-on-guest slaughter breaks out during the final chapter of Westworlds debut season, you might recall the authorities concerned would be called in to shut down the ballpark early in season two. But 22 Julys panel for the establish, which doesnt income until 2018, learnt the freeing of a trailer prove Evan Rachel Woods Dolores and James Marsdens Teddy joyously hunting down their former tormentors recommending the robots retaliate has not been able to been completely reenacted. Theres too a shot of Jeffrey Wrights recreated Bernard Lowe next to a dead tiger, and a brief scene boasting a blood-spattered Gentleman in Black( Ed Harris ). Where the Emmy award-winning see travelings to in season two persists shrouded in mystery, but it looks like well be staying in Westworld itself, rather than heading out into wider vistas.

The virtual-reality world of Ready Player One is filled with pop-culture phenomena

William Gibsons cult 1984 book Neuromancer, widely considered the original cyberpunk fiction, presents a eyesight of cyberspace so alien to our insights with its heavy employment of invented technobabble that its murky virtual-reality world is nearly impassable. Not so Steven Spielbergs upcoming adaptation of Ernest Clines sci-fi romance Ready Player One, which offers us a Matrix-like technosphere occupied by cheerfully familiar pop-culture supporters. The weekend board for the movie learnt the exhaust of a introduction trailer, in which gamer Wade Watts combats against and alongside The Iron Giant, an orc from The Lord of the Rings and Freddy Krueger from the Nightmare on Elm Street movies, in a dystopian 2044. All of a sudden, Ed Sheeran swerving up in Game of Thrones doesnt seem practically so incongruous.

The Defenders have work to do to reignite Netflixs Marvel shows

The first trailer for The Defenders, which debuted at Marvel TV panel on 21 July, recommends the ensemble superhero prove has work to do in order to convince us its worth binge-streaming next month, especially after the disappointment of the second largest half of Luke Cages debut season not to mention the whitewashed vehicle gate-crash that was Iron Fist.

Sigourney Weaver romps Alexandra, who appears to be a spokesperson for evil ninja faction The Hand, which to our remembering has been set on taking over New York since at least season two of Daredevil but apparently hasnt fairly got there yet. The problem with these Netflix demo is the low-level bets: the baddies never seem to want to hold the entire city in subjugation; they usually exactly want to profit by ensure local felony rackets, preparing them up in opposition to the neighbourhood superheroes who want to keep the streets scavenge.

When Marvel began its Netflix experiment, this low-key approach was a welcome comfort from the CGI mega-destruction of the big-screen outings, but The Defenders surely needs to up the ante with a more ambitiously evil scheme if its to justify creating all these street-level heroes together for an epic showdown.

This site cannot be publicly known because of all those extremists who profess their hatred for Heyer and Bro, and who convey their continued threats of violence toward Bro and others of Heyers family. The location is also secret to protect those who work there, says Bro.

She visits Heyer there in peace, and other members of the family and close friends have been to the location, or will be told in time where the place is and taken there.

Its a symptom of hate in society that you should have to protect your childs grave, for Petes sake, says Bro. So, Im protecting my child now.

As she tells me this, what sounds like the wheezing of a dying animal fills the small room we are in. Bro laughs at how horrific the computer hard drive sounds, especially as we are talking about the death of her daughter at the same time as the machines mortal gurgling continues. Every time I think I turn it off, the computer seems to turn itself on again and the guttural howling begins anew.

Shes here, Heathers here, Bro says, smiling, of the machine in the side office of the Miller Law Group, where Heyer worked as a paralegal, aiding people facing bankruptcy. Heyer, 32, was killed after being struck by a car while protesting against white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Aug. 12. Many other counterprotesters alongside her were injured.

Today, Bro will speak in detail about what she sees as Trumps encouragement of white supremacy, about her daughters alleged killer who she will face for the first time in court Thursday, of seeing her daughters body for the final time, and of cradling her asheswhich reminded her, piercingly, of cradling Heyer as a baby.

Bro will also speak of not living in fear of those who threaten her, and of her heartfelt commitment to consolidating a legacy of social justice in her daughters memory. Her plain-spoken warmth and fierce eloquence have impressed many.

When I ask if she holds President Trump in any way responsible for her daughters death, Bro says: Im starting to come to that conclusion because he definitely pushes forward a hateful agenda. There are family members that will possibly not have anything to do with me for saying so. Many family members are strong Trump supporters, and continue to be so despite everything they see.

At Miller Law, Heyers desk is occupied by another person now. Her boss and mentor Alfred Wilson admonishes himself when he picks up the phone to ask his trusted assistant something, and says Heather, rather than Amy.

Justin Marks, one of Heathers best friends, still sits opposite her desk. Her friend Courtney Commander, who was with Heyer protesting on Aug. 12, works at the firm. Her death made international news, and transformed Heyer into a civil-rights icon.

Here, in a modest office in a nondescript building outside Charlottesville, daily life carries on, and yet sometimes, Wilson tells me, its like a beat goes missing and Heathers loss, her absence, is all too apparent and raw. On Heyers old desk is a pencil and pen holder, a computer with two screens, and above her leather chair on the wall two professional certificates, one recognizing Heyers outstanding service, performance and dedication awarded to her just three months before her death.

At Miller Law, Bro, 61, has an office out of which she runs the nascent Heather Heyer Foundation, set up to support the next generation of social-justice leaders. Bro runs it with three volunteers. As long as Im doing something proactive, I can control the feelings, the emotions, a little better, Bro says, as the computers death-rattle wheezes on.

On a cold December night, there is a small puddle of flowers where Heyer was killed on Charlottesvilles Fourth Street on Aug. 12. On the brick buildings on either side of the street, graffiti is written in love and pride to her memory: No More Hate, Gone But Not Forgotten, Love, and Heather written in curled lettering, a chalk image of flowers above the real ones.

On television, when the video of James Alex Fields Jr.s Dodge Challenger driving into the anti-Nazi and anti-white supremacist protestersthat included Heyerwas replayed over and over again, the street in Charlottesville may have looked large to viewers.

In reality, it is not much more than an alley off the citys main shopping drag, the Downtown Mall. (A car speeding at a group of people in such a small space immediately made this reporter think of a bowling ball launched at a tightly packed group of pins.)

This stretch of Fourth Street, between Market and Water Streets where Fields drove his car, will reportedly be renamed Heather Heyer Way.

A preliminary hearing for Fields, 20, is scheduled to be held Thursday, at Charlottesville Circuit Courthouse. Fields is charged with second-degree murder, three counts of malicious wounding, three counts of aggravated malicious wounding, two charges of felonious assault and failure to stop that led to death. (Crowds are expected to gather at court; nearby streets will be closed off.)

Heyer was among a crowd of protesters who were demonstrating against the white supremacists, white nationalists, neo-Confederates, Klansmen, neo-Nazis and various militias who had descended on Charlottesville for a Unite the Right rally, organized by Charlottesville resident Jason Kessler. (On Monday, Charlottesville denied Kesslers application to hold an anniversary rally there. The proposed demonstration or special event will present a danger to public safety, the city wrote to Kessler.)

Nineteen people were injured by Fields car. He had traveled from Ohio to attend Kesslers rally, which had been organized to protest the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee from Charlottesvilles Emancipation Park, a few minutes walk away from where Heyer died and where there had been disturbances earlier that day.

A short walk from Lees statue is a statue of Gen. Thomas Stonewall Jackson in Justice Park. Both are now covered in black tarp, invisible but still present. At night they loom like giant phantoms.

The statue of Thomas Jefferson at the University of Virginia, where far-right protesters had gathered holding flaming tiki torches on Friday, Aug. 11, remains uncovered, a lone security guard keeping watch nearby.

Around 30 University of Virginia students had stood around the statues base as the mainly white marchers, dressed in khakis and polo shirts, had shouted such slogans as Blood and soil! You will not replace us! and Jews will not replace us!

Bro won plaudits for speaking so powerfully at her daughters memorial service held at Charlottesvilles Paramount Theater, delivering an impressive, moving, and fully rounded vision of her daughters life, where she also stated: They tried to kill my child to shut her up. Well guess what, you just magnified her.

I know that for whatever reason we were woefully unprepared and woefully unprotected for what ensued.

Bro echoes the findings. I know that for whatever reason we were woefully unprepared and woefully unprotected for what ensued, she tells The Daily Beast. We need to look to cities like Boston and San Francisco to see how they prepare for when these hate groups come to town.

I ask if Bro holds the police and authorities responsible for Heyers death. Well, things could have turned out differently had they responded differently. Its not for me to figure out the whys and wherefores. But we know, according to the report, that all they put there was a school resource officer who definitely had a reason to fear for her safety. She wasnt given protection. And then to simply leave one sawhorse to stop traffic

He was not under any attack until he drove into the crowd. Then he was having people beat on his car because he was killing people and injuring people.

Does Bro hold Fields responsible for Heyers death?

Absolutely. Nobody made him do anything. I know he claims he felt threatened. The only time people were attacking his car was when he drove into a crowd, and people were attacking his car because he was driving over top of them. He was not under any attack until he drove into the crowd. Then he was having people beat on his car because he was killing people and injuring people.

It was a pretty stupid move. Hes old enough to know better. My husband Kim looked at what he did, and said it reminded him of a video game, except in one of those you drive through people, and bodies fly everywhere with no consequence. I dont know the kid, Ive never met him. The first time I will see him will be in court this week. I will be going.

Initially when her daughter died, Bro flinched at looking at anything related to it, all videos and photographs, until she got through the initial horror.

Then I thought, I have to know what is going on here. Part of making myself tougher and stronger and fixing my purpose and not turning away from it is partly as a response to the bullies who would love to me see cry and in pain.

I would like to say no other mother has to have her child die for social justice, but I know thats not happening, so I will do my part.

She will see Fields in court today, because I feel this is part of what I owe my child. It behooves me to be strong. It also renews my sense of purpose about why I am doing what I am doing. I would like to say no other mother has to have her child die for social justice, but I know thats not happening, so I will do my part.

The part of Fourth Street where Fields struck the protesters is small. Its an alley, not a road. Bro drove a lawyer past it recently. I was trying to explain to her whether he could see people or not, you could absolutely see the end of the street. There is no reason to gun it except for the sole intention of killing. There was no mistaking the fact he was driving into a crowd.

What would she ask Fields if she could?

What the hell were you thinking? What did you think was going to be outcome of this?

Fields has not been in touch. Bro is sure his lawyer would not want him to be.

Beyond Fields, I ask Bro if she believes white supremacy and hate killed Heyer that day?

Oh, of course. Of course. I mean she knew that was a possibility, but no one thinks they will be killed for standing up for their beliefs. She didnt go there to be a martyr. This is part of my frustration with people, who either make her out to be a martyr in that she went there to die, or that she was a saint and angel and godly person.

Bro claps her hands as she says the following words, slowly and loudly for emphasis: Heather was a normal 32-year-old girl.

I choose not to poke the bear in power, but Im definitely not happy with how he has chosen to drive forward with white supremacy and neo-Nazis.

Bro still does not want to speak to President Trump.

He responds off the cuff. He doesnt bother to think before speaks, or very calculatedly is trying to manipulate all of us. Im not sure which. I can grant there was a lot of violence on both sides, but to say there were good people on both sidesthats where I draw the line.

You cant say there were good people coming into town with their fists taped prepared to draw blood and do harm. Thats not good people. Nazis: bad people. White supremacists: bad people. And I dont see that you can call it any other way. If you choose to align yourself with those people, and you choose to call them good, then youve told me what sort of person you are. So now I have your number and now I know how I choose to respond to you. And in his case, that means: Im not responding to you, you dont get my time of day.

When you continue to misspeak, and continue to misspeak, until there are falsehoods and false stories, and make thoughtless remarks, that to me looks like a planned, intentional hurt.

A number of frantic phone calls came from the White House when she was at her daughters funeral. When she caught up with the news after Heyers funeral, she saw the controversy swirling around the presidents remarks.

I thought, Well, screw him, Im not dealing with this. Im not talking to him. I have no need to go through this charade of pretending to be nice and happy.

He is the president of the United States. That carries a certain weight and power with it. I choose not to poke the bear in power, but Im definitely not happy with how he has chosen to drive forward with white supremacy and neo-Nazis. When someone misspeaks a time or two, its one thing, but when you continue to misspeak and continue to misspeak until there are falsehoods and false stories, and make thoughtless remarks, that to me looks like a planned, intentional hurt. So, my respect definitely dims somewhat, shall we say.

I ask if Bro thinks Trump has aligned himself with white supremacy.

Well, his actions speak louder than his words. Look at the way he acted towards protesters at his rallies. He has definitely encouraged violence and hatred, and has made fun of people for race or disability, and then always tries to act like Oh, I didnt say anything. As a teacher, I can tell you that the child in the classroom who continually tries to act out like that and says, Oh, I didnt say or do anything, we held them responsible for their actions. I am seeing an upswell of those who are going to continue to hold this president responsible for his actions.

Think before you speak and speak only the truth please.

Heyer had quit speaking to a few of those family members before she died; Bro had negotiated a truce between her daughter and other Trump-supporting family members; others she left alone because the relationship wasnt strong in the first place.

Today, if she could address Trump directly, Bro would say: Think before you speak and speak only the truth, please.

He disrespects everybody, Heathers not special in that regard, Bro says of the president. He disrespects Native Americans, black people, history, everything. He has no respect for anybody. Having seen him pre- and since the election, its not surprising. He has never changed who he was. This man is not about respect. He never was, he never will be. Its who he is.

The last in-person conversation mother and daughter had was at a buffet restaurant where they talked politics, office, love life, recalls Bro. Mostly with Heather you got a word in sideways. After dinner, Kim went to the car to play video games: He knew Heather would talk for a while. Since the election, Heyers politics and commentary on Facebook had become more concentrated. She was a fervent opponent of any kind of bigotry, most recently challenging the proponents of a local anti-Muslim campaign.

On the day of her death, out on the Charlottesville streets, Heyer had calmly asked a female supporter of white supremacy why she was aligning herself with their politics.

Mother and daughters last actual conversation was by Messenger. Bro scrolls through her phone to find it, noting that so many people claim to be Heyer now.

Hey, you were you born in 56, and whats your social. Im setting up an IRA with work and I have to name a beneficiary, Heyer messaged her mom, who passed along her information as requested.

But stay alive, Bro added.

Heyer replied, lolol, Ill try thanks.

Id rather have you than the money, her mother replied.

Then she said lol, and we sent the love emoticon to each other, Bro says quietly.

And that was the last conversation I had with my kid.

Her voice cracks.

That was on August 3rd. You never think thats going to be the last time you talk to your child.

It was good that Heyer was getting her financial affairs in order, says Bro, even if it was all in process at the time of her death. Wilson was working with Heyer on plans to safeguard her income and have her invest in property.

The detective just said something to the effect of Your daughter was pronounced dead at such and such a time, and I remember putting my head down and wailing.

That Saturday morning, Bro didnt know Heyer was at the counter-demonstration. She had heard of the unrest in town without realizing Heyer was caught up in it. She had had a stressful week at work, and was relaxing.

Hours before Heyers death, Bro had posted this on Facebook: If I could give my daughter three things it would be the confidence to know her self-worth, the strength to chase her dreams, and the ability to know how truly, deeply loved she is.

It was meant as a spontaneous message of love and pride to her child. Time has transformed it into something more tragically moving.

You dont expect your kid to pass away, get killed. Like that, she says.

The first moment Bro knew that something terrible had happened was when Justin Marks called her. He told her the hospital was looking for Heyers next of kin. Bro kept calling the hospital, but was told they had no one of Heyers name there.

Bro screamed for her friend Cathy to take her to the hospital. Kim, who was elsewhere, would follow them.

A stranger answered Heyers phone and said he had found it on the sidewalk.

Bro called him back to try and get hold of Marissa Blair, a friend and colleague of her daughters who been with her at the demonstration and whose fianc, Marcus Martin, had pushed her out of the path of the car (he suffered a broken leg as a result).

Bro arrived at the hospital to find it barricaded off in a state of lockdown. Security checked her bag for weapons. I was trying to grit my teeth. I told them, I have been told my child is here. Two strangers grabbed me.

Bro takes a deep breath, pauses, and starts weeping.

I knew at this point it was not good. They grabbed me very tightly and walked me up the ramp to a room. I knew I was about to pass out. I walked in and sat down. A detective introduced himself. I dont remember his name, I remember his face.

He just said something to the effect of Your daughter was pronounced dead at such and such a time, and I remember putting my head down and wailing.

Bro is crying.

Then I called people. But every time I would close my eyes that night Id remember that moment and Id wail again. The week of the funeral I only slept 10 hours from the moment I got up on Saturday morning to the day she was buried five days later.

I kept saying to the hospital people, Thank you. I know you did your best. Im proud of how she died. And thats the only thing I could think of to get me through it.

I knew she was dead. I kept saying to the hospital people, Thank you. I know you did your best. Im proud of how she died. And thats the only thing I could think of to get me through it. I remember shaking hands with people, and people saying Im sorry. Id say again, Thank you. I know you did your best. Im proud of how she died. My brain was locked up, it was all I could say.

Wilson and his wife Feda and daughter Amina came to the hospital.

Alfreds kids loved Heather. She even shared her Amazon Fire Stick with them.

The day Heyer was killed the hospital had asked if Bro wanted to see her, but Bro had wanted to wait for her husband to get there. Bro didnt get to see Heyers body until the day before her daughters funeral. The medical examiner had her up until then.

The computers deathly wheezing rises in volume in the little room.

I was really, really dreading seeing her body, but I needed to see her one last time.

I held her hand, and I said, Im going to make this good for you. Im going to make this count for something.

One of the two ministers who spoke at Heyers funeral met Bro at the funeral home, and prayed with her.

I felt a calm come over me. When I saw her, her face and head were kind of messed up. I knew it was her but her arm, her left arm, I recognized more specifically. We had the same arm, she had longer fingers. It was bruised, it had a lot of bruises on it. But I held her hand, and I said, Im going to make this good for you. Im going to make this count for something.

Bro and Kim were with Heyer for 10 minutes; then her father and his friend went in separately; and Heyers brother and his wife, so everyone had their special time with her.

Bro says the National Institutes of Health called two days after her daughter died to ask if they could have Heyers brain for research.

Bro gave her consent (its not like she could use it). A NIH representative called back shortly afterward to say never mind, Bro says. The medical examiner said it was not usable. She pauses. That tells me there was brain damage. When I saw her, her long beautiful hair was not visible. Im guessing it had been cut off. She had a shower cap on, her forehead had a huge lump across it, her teeth didnt quite look like in the right place to me, and she had a hospital gown on, and I saw her arm and thats all I saw of her. I dont remember if she was in a body bag or covered in a sheet.

Bros voice quivers. Thats my driving force. Dammit, you killed my kid, but Im going to make something good come out of this, in spite of it. Youre not going to shut her up, youre not going to shut up the social justice she stood for. Were going to make it bigger than ever. Were going make big things happen.

The weight of the urn in my arms was about the same weight she was when she was born, and I just felt I flashed back to the day they put her in my arms when she was born, and I sat and held her for a long time.

She and Kim stayed with Heyer for five to 10 minutes that day.

After it was all over, when she was cremated and we had her ashes in an urn, we sat and held the urn for long time, Bro says, her voice cracking again.

When we are cremated theres not a lot left. I had a purple urn. Purple was Heathers color, its why her dog was named Violet. The weight of the urn in my arms was about the same weight she was when she was born, and I just felt I flashed back to the day they put her in my arms when she was born, and I sat and held her for a long time. And Kim held the urn for a long time. And that was the day we spent with my kid.

They said, Dont you want take some ashes home? And I said no. Why would I take her big toe or her pinky finger home? If other people want to do that and bring closure, fine. I have no need for that. Heather is with me in my heart. I dont need a piece of her body too.

At the memorial service, she said she felt she had one shot to introduce Heyer to the world: to explain who she was and why she was at the counterprotest. She asked Heathers birth father to talk about raising Heather, and her cousins to talk about her activism.

For herself, Bro wanted to tie all the elements of her daughters life together. She talked of her daughters strength, purpose, and also her as a person in all her complexity.

To me, I was just speaking the truth. Heather and I would laugh about how, at funerals, people who were wife beaters or alcoholics are suddenly talked of as if saints. I knew she would want her life to be deconstructed honestly and real.

We spent a solid two hours hugging and talking to people. By the end of it I felt elevated again, as if I had wings on my feet.

After her powerful oration at Heyers memorial service, by chance she and Kim drove home past where Heyer was killed.

When I saw, I grabbed my husbands arm and said, Oh my God, oh my God. I screamed and I almost jumped out of the car, because the pain hit me so hard. It was the first time I had ever been there, so that was really painful.

Bro falls silent. She went on a planned visit to the site a week after her daughter died. She and Kim got lost initially, and asked for directions at a nearby farmers market. I was just sick with grief at the thought of going there. Kim and I held each other and just sobbed for three and four minutes. When I looked up there was just this wall of people up at where the Mall was, and I said, Its OK, you can come now.

We spent a solid two hours hugging and talking to people. By the end of it I felt elevated again, as if I had wings on my feet. I was so full of love and caring from other people. I had dreaded it so badly, but it turned out to be a very helpful and healing experience.

Bro went back to the street about a month after Heyers death and recommended to city officials that it should reopen.

When discussions were underway about how to mark Heyers memory in Charlottesville, a statue was discussed or the renaming of a park, both of which Bro rejected, seeing them as yet another red flag to the white supremacists and associated groups who had come to Charlottesville to protest the Confederate statues in the first place.

That is why, Bro says, she gave her support to the suggestion of renaming Fourth Street to Heather Heyer Way.

Bro took home some of the artificial flowers at the site, and scarves and bandanas that had been left there. She gave away some of the flowers to passersby. She has washed and wears some of the scarves. She has also has a purple blanket she made Heather, which she wraps herself up in in the evenings. Thats my cuddle time with Heather, she says.

All of what has happened can seem unreal to Bro.

This time last year I was happily crocheting angels and hats. I was just cooking, and it feels like it was a different life another person lived through.

My grief is folded into my work. Without my work I would sit home and cry. I wouldnt be able to wrap my head around anything else.

Bro says she has lived through several incarnations. First I got married. That first time I thought I was a happy housewife and part-time office worker and then that dream got crushed. Then I was a single mom for a while on welfare and food stamps, and then I went back to school, so I was a student and single mom, then I was a schoolteacher; then I was a bookkeeper; then I remarried after 25 years of not being married.

This is the next incarnation. My grief is folded into my work. Without my work I would sit home and cry. I wouldnt be able to wrap my head around anything else.

She used to knit and crochet voraciously, but doesnt feel she has the mental capacity for it now. The bookkeeper inside her head wants to marshal the foundations paperwork, and in the office she feels close to Heyer.

Bro says her life now is a million light years from anything I ever expected. She declines to tell me where she lives, beyond it being a town a half-hour north of Charlottesville. They have such a small police force they have been trying to avoid connecting themselves to us, she says.

Since Heyers death, hatemongers have not just targeted Heyer herself, but Susan, too. They tell Bro that Heyer deserved to die, that she was fat, that the blunt-force injury to the chest recorded as her cause of death was a CPR machine, not Fields car. Bros life has been threatened, too.

Its kind of stupid, Bro says drily. You threaten the mother of someone you already killed because she dares to speak up.

Not only, says Bro, is local law enforcement unable to deal with threats to Bro and the family, Heyer also disagreed with the local authorities stance on social justice. Bro didnt hold her funeral there, partly because the authorities couldnt guarantee the familys security, and also because Heyers heart was in Charlottesville, she says.

Bros home areas authorities dont want hate groups coming to the area because of Heyer, her mother says; even a planned food drive in Heyers name was canceled because of fear of far-right groups.

Theres a dichotomy in my life, says Bro. I taught in a particular place for 15 years, then worked for that state and county. Now to act as if it doesnt exist is weird. But I dont look back, I look forward. You can only move ahead with the what you have in front of you.

Heyers apartment was in the center of Charlottesville, near where she died and where she was conceived, says her mother.

That pregnancy was a last-ditch attempt to save me and my first husband Marks marriage, says Bro.

Nick, Heyers brother who is five years her senior, had been born first. Bro had been especially delighted to have a son. I never imagined having a boy. I was so happy to have him and Heather. I felt bad I didnt bring them into a stable relationship. In my mind that was selfish and irresponsible. There was a lot of loud, angry yelling, a lot of tears. It was not a good thing for Nick or Heather to be around.

Nick, who is in the Army Reserves and is married with a small child, has been devastated by his sisters death, says Bro. She was not the first person close to him to have been murdered, and he wishes to stay out of the public eye.

At the time of Heathers conception, We were sort of using birth control, says Bro. I probably thought, Were doing OK now, and it was a disaster. He [Mark] had problems at the time, though is a changed man for the better now. We were both lousy spouses. It was a bad marriage, and we split up for a final time when Heather was five months old.

The marriage had lasted eight years, the divorce took three years.

Mother and daughter, both strong-minded, clashed over the years, but were never estranged.

We would clash because she was trying to impose her will on me, Bro says, smiling. She shows me a picture of Heather at 3, where she looks brimming with a quiet anger or resolve, or both.

Bro laughs. She was going to argue with me. The storm is brewing on her face. The way to make her agree was to explain something to her to her satisfaction. Bedtimes, mealtimes: Shed argue about everything. You always needed to explain to her why something was fair and right.

There are other pictures of her and Nick playing in the Styrofoam peanuts left behind from a box of toys sent by their Florida-dwelling grandparents. One of her favorite outfits was to wear a diaper, army helmet, and Bros high heels.

Others have told me all they could hear was the thud sound of bodies being hit. They didnt see the car till the last possible second.

Heyer was a boisterous child, at least early on.

She was born with only one ear, says Bro. Her left ear was folded over. There was no hole in her skull. During fifth grade, Heyer had a series of painful, corrective surgeries. She had 20 percent hearing in that ear.

Most of us forgot, including her mother, says Bro, because she coped so well. But that did mean she couldnt locate by sound, which may have been a factor that led to her death. If a crowd was yelling and a car was coming she may not know where the car was. Others have told me all they could hear was the thud sound of bodies being hit. They didnt see the car till the last possible second.

As a young girl, Heyer didnt have any ambitions. When her mother asked her what she would like to do, to try and nudge her, Heyer replied that she would like to be a fat cat on a pillow and not have to do anything. Her mother laughed and told her that was not an option. Thats often the problem with bright kids. Things are so easy for us, we have difficulty settling into careers.

College was costly, the family didnt have any money, and Heyer had screwed around in high school, her mother says. There were no scholarships coming.

As a schoolteacher for 20 years, Bro wanted her pupils (fourth graders, aged 9 and 10) to succeed, but neither of her children liked school. They were both strong and independent, she says, and she was keen to raise people, not sheeple. She made it clear she could only be there for them in financial emergencies; when they left home, they had to support themselves.

Both Nick and Heather started work at 14, she says. Heather did waitressing and bar work; she had seen Bro do the same to supplement her teaching salary. Food-service work was always something to fall back on, she had told her children.

Bro was thrilled when Heyer came to work at Miller Law in 2012. Her daughter was getting close to 30 at the time, and her mother thinks she was taking stock of her life, and figuring out she did not want to be a waitress at 70. That was a pivot point for her. I had mine closer to 40 or 50, Bro laughs.

After she died the crockpot from Easter was still in the fridge. She was single. She never looked in that fridge. My husband Kim very politely bagged it up and tossed it.

Heyer didnt want to have children, though she loved and doted on other peoples. She adored Violet, her Chihuahua (who now lives with a close friend of hers).

The family marked the holidays by going to Bros parents place.

I tried preparing a big meal a time or two. Heather said, Mom, youre killing yourself. This is no fun for any of us. At her suggestion, we stopped doing the big meal last Thanksgiving. So for Christmas, Easter, and what we would have done at Thanksgiving and Christmas, everyone went to Subway and got their favorite sub.

Heather also prepared a whole crockpot of mac and cheeseit was a deluxe, calorie-laden Paula Deen recipeand three dozen deviled eggs. I found out from her best friend after she died, she hated making them. She felt a family obligation to take it on: piles and piles food we couldnt possibly eat. After she died the crockpot from Easter was still in the fridge. She was single. She never looked in that fridge. My husband Kim very politely bagged it up and tossed it.

Cathy enters to say goodbye. Bro says they have been friends for 18 years, through thick and thin. It carries back and forth as to who needs who, and now I need her. I never had a close friend like that before, Im an odd duck. I laugh at the wrong jokes. I was much more stubborn and hard-headed in the past.

Her daughter was affected by Bros uterine-cancer diagnosis in 2010. For Bro, it was a health wake-up call. Bro thinks it made her realize she wouldnt be around forever.

Around the same time, a significant relationship of Heyersa first love boyfriendwas drawing to its end. Maybe life does that: Things converge and shoot you off into new directions. Its happened that way for me, Bro says.

Life has come at Bro hard and fast since her daughters death. But people who were near Heyer or who helped others who were injured have made themselves known to her. They are suffering, she says, a form of PTSD. Im dealing with the aftermath of a dead child. There are still people receiving medical treatment, people who will never be completely right again. Im not sure all the people are out of hospital yet. Theyre dealing with the trauma in a different way than me. I am dealing with one incident. They are dealing with the effects of being in a war zone.

Kesslers bid to hold another rally in Charlottesville next year may have been denied, but when we spoke Bro was not surprised he had sought it.

Im not happy about it. He feels it got him the bloodbath and the media attention he wants, so hes going to try again. With these sorts of rallies, Bro does not want to give the white-supremacist demonstrators the oxygen of publicity that a counter-demonstration would supply, but if you let them have the field that day, dont they think theyve won?

People have said to me, Heather shouldnt have been there, that people were warned to stay away, that she died from her own stupidity, that this is Darwins Law, that she wiped herself out, Thank God, Im glad thats over. My comment to them was, so when the Nazis came to town, we should all go into our houses and hide. Thats what happened in Germany originally: Its not my problem, not going to look at it, it wont affect me. But it does. It affects humanity.

Its kind of stupid. You threaten the mother of someone you already killed because she dares to speak up.

People have asked Bro why she bothers with her ongoing activism.

I said, Because Im making ripples in the pond, and as long as enough of us make ripples eventually a wave develops. This is part of me maintaining my ripple, my resolve.

Bro is doing a lot of traveling and talking, as she puts it. Her marriage to Kim is a fairly young, four years old. They have been together for seven years. When Heyer died, she said to Kim before she began her foundation work that she would be the face of it, and asked whether he was ready for that. Because this is going to change who I am a lot. Im not going to be that half hippie chick you married.

Kim said to her: Im game.

He travels with her, although has a bad back, so sometimes Cathy goes with her, or Alfreds wife, Feda. She worries that she hasnt seen some of her grandchildren since the summer. Part of that is due to security worries; they could not attend Heyers funeral because Bro felt their safety could not be guaranteed. It seems awful that Heyers family cannot even conduct the basics of grieving without being threatened.

The hate mail has been stupid, pointless, and mostly anonymous from idiot cowards, she says. The authors threaten her life, and make racist remarks like, as Bro recites: They should have killed more n**gers. I wish theyd killed more n**gers. Im glad your daughters gone. You know she didnt actually die. She just laid down of a heart attack, because she was a fat slob.

I take care of it before it takes care of me. Thats why some people think I dont care. I care very deeply, but its like diving into a cold pool and sucking it up, toughing it out.

Its a little insane, Bro says of this hatred, a little like stepping into reality TV. Kim and I had lessons from the FBI: how to watch ones back, be more aware of surroundings, like dont sit with your back to the door of a restaurant. But I dont live in paranoia and fear. I cant function that way. Its the new reality. It is what it is.

I don't allow myself to feel sorry for myself. Im not the only mother whos lost a kid. Im not the only person approaching the holidays who has lost a loved one. I just have to toughen up a bit and get through it. Thats how I survive. I take care of it before it takes care of me. That's why some people think I dont care. I care very deeply, but its like diving into a cold pool and sucking it up, toughing it out. I have to get on with my life, and my life right now is sharing Heathers life.

It saddens her most that it is affecting her grandchildren; one became anxious after his mother became anxious (the situation is now resolved); one young niece who was close to Heyer thinks of her as just daddys friend, and Bro hopes when she is older she will know how brave her aunt was and be proud of her.

After she died, Bro looked through her daughters Facebook posts: They were all to do with friends and social justice.

She hadnt understood how much Heyer had stood up for other people, and at such a young age, until after she was killed, when Bro found out her daughter had stood up as a kid herself for other kids bullied on the school bus, like the woman (and her brother) who set up a GoFundMe page for Heyers funeral.

A white teacher who had adopted an Asian child was abused at school; Heyer took those bullies on, too.

I didnt know she did all that stuff. She didnt talk about it, says Bro.

Heyers social-justice posts became more emphatic after the last election, her mother says.

Bro herself didnt understand white privilege or the politics of Black Lives Matter until her own activism evolved, although she recalls going out with Heyer and a black man she once dated and going to a restaurant and getting the worst service and evil looks from other people. We were followed in stores. That may have been an awakening for Heather as well. We never talked about the moment she became woke, but a few weeks before she was killed she said to me, Mom, I think youre woke now. I said, I think I always have been, but maybe now I am doing better at it.

Heyer, her mother says, lived larger than life and died larger than life. She was always funny, always intense. Her love was intense, her anger could be intense. The irony is that day she went out to be with her friends.

Bro is telling me about the glass table top of a Mexican restaurant, a favorite venue of hers and Heathers, which she only just felt able to return to. As she went to sit down, the glass top suddenly started rotating.

As she says these words, the computer turns itself on again, and the death rattle begins anew.

She turns to me, and laughs. If the monitor comes on and typing starts appearing, then you can really freak out.

That day at the Mexican restaurant, Bro put her hand on the table and said, Heather, stop it. and the rotating glass stopped.

The other day in the office, Bro was talking to one of her daughters friends about a past relationship with a guy she had only marginally approved of, and the paper plate being held by the other person suddenly upended itself, sending the pastry on it flying off. Well Heather didnt like that, did she? Bro said.

Bro tries to stay focused on work when at the office, and laughs that her kitchen table at home is her second office space, its surface unseen since her daughters death so covered as it is with correspondence.

She feels Heyers presence mostly when shes driving; the two would sing along to the radio in the car. Heyer loved hip-hop, and both liked Pink, Adele, Amy Winehouse: Strong women singers, Bro says.

I would take it all back in a second to have her back. And yet, I also know this has made an impact on the world and I cant take that away from the world

The Saturday before our meeting Bro had been doing some Christmas shopping in Charlottesville when she was suddenly aware that she walking around with tears streaming down her face. She did not feel self-conscious; she is learning to live with the vagaries of when grief strikes.

Bro can also be positively surprised. The day before we meet, she went to a McDonalds drive-thru (for a yogurt parfait, she says; she and her husband are trying to stick to a diet).

In front of her was a man with a Sons of Confederate Veterans license plate. I thought, Do I hate him? Do I want to hate him?' I tried the thought on. No I didnt. I thought, 'Thats probably his family history. I dont know how he feels about Heather. But me hating him is not going to do any good. He looked a lot like my husband. I saw him see me in his rearview mirror, and recognize me.

I got to the drive-thru window, and the cashier said that my meal had been paid for by him. I pulled around when I was picking up the food, hollered thank you, and he waved. I think, even if a lot of people believe in the Confederate cause, they didnt want people dying that day.

Heyer herself was a private person, an activist happy to serve rather than lead. Bro feels that at some point this becomes my movement too. This is my tribute to my daughter, and its not exactly how she would have done things. My gut feeling is that she would understand why we are doing what we are doing with her memory. I would take it all back in a second to have her back. And yet, I also know this has made an impact on the world and I cant take that away from the world.

Her voice cracks.

I would love to have my child back. But I cant take away what this has meant to other people. If this is what it takes to snap the worlds attention around to say, This has to stop. We have to draw a line, then that is good. I have said before that I dont know why it had to take a white girls death to get everybodys attention, but that is what happened. Sadly, I think my daughters death is a pivotal point in historyand I do not mean to be inflated about that at all. Its just seeing the impact and ongoing impact from this. It's a moment not likely to be forgotten.

When I ask about the controversial statues themselves, Bro is careful first to say she does not live in Charlottesville herself.

For those of us who want to remove the statues, we are not trying to hide or bury history, but lets acknowledge why the statues are where they are. They were put up during Jim Crow times for the purpose of telling a newly confident and more affluent black community: We do not respect you, we still think of you as slaves who have managed to get a little ahead in life. Nothing happened during the Civil War in Charlottesville. Take them down, put them somewhere else, they dont belong here.

Im diabetic, I have to eat, Bro announces abruptly.

In a car en route to a nearby Burger King, she talks about growing up in Roanoke, an only child. Her mother did clerical work, her father was a draftsman. She was much less a tomboy than her own daughter, and grew up wanting to be a teacher, missionary or cowboy: Not a cowgirl. They were boring.

A young feminist, she demanded in first grade to be allowed to wear pants under her dress on snowy days. At her second marriage, to Kim, she recalls laughing gently, she asked that he promised to love and obey her, too.

She knew she was loved. I knew I was loved. We had no animosity between us hanging over. I don't want to let her go, but could let her go

At the drive-thru she orders a burger, onion rings, and a diet soda, and on the way back to the office she talks about worrying that her hippie-ish demeanor made her stand out at social events like a Miller Law Group summer cookout. Heather had told her she loved her mom just as she was.

One thing I felt when Heather was killed was that I had no regrets about our relationship. She knew she was loved. I knew I was loved. We had no animosity between us hanging over. I don't want to let her go, but could let her go. She knew that things were good between us. Bro only regrets the lack of pictures of them together.

Back in her small office at Miller Law, she shows me some framed tweets from Bernie Sanders (Heyer was a huge supporter, and did not vote in the election after the Democrats chose Hillary Clinton over him; Bro was angry with her for this).

There is a wrapped-up and folded banner from the Amsterdam Womens March, a handmade pillow, an honorary certificate from the governor of Virginia and the state flag, a painting of Heyer by an artist from Pittsburgh in her favorite purples. On Bros desk are official letterheads of the foundation, hearts colored purple, inscribed HH.

As the afternoon light leaks to darkness, Bro tells me that activism will now be the focus of the rest of her life. She always had opinions, she says, it was just nobody cared to hear them. The foundation will primarily focus on energizing and engaging young people, and training the next generation of social justice leaders.

She relishes connecting with other civil-rights groups and learning how to be a social justice advocate. I cant see myself doing anything else. By that first Sunday I told my husband I could never go back to my other job. I dont have the mind for it. My mind is wrapped in this now.

Bros health is not good; she says her immune system is collapsing in on itself, she finds it hard to turn her mind off when its time to go to sleep, her sleeping is erratic as is her diet. She has been following a clean eating plan, and then may have junk food, like today.

She talks of the people in airports or shops who approach her. Bro tries to have time for everyone, but she is always aware of those who shrink back, too tentative to say anything. What a strange new world it is, she says, where she may have to get an agent to handle her speaking requests. An agent, she says, laughing gently.

But beyond it all: the talks and award ceremonies, the hugs and thanks and solicitousness of strangers, the new and strange stardom, the life of committees and progressive alliances and celebrities and red carpets and interviews and public speaking, is the inescapable and all-encompassing loss of her daughter.

As we finish the interview, Bro asks where I am staying. I tell her the name of my hotel.

OMG, you guys. Today is already a great day. Nick Jonas’ “Find You” music video is ultimately here, and it’s truly, really good. Nick Jonas, the international person of sex, is always remarkable us with brand new music, and this time it’s something altogether, utterly classy. Jonas’ new carol, “Find You, ” is the sort of gentle carol to get you in the mood to dance on the beach with a bunch of attractive strangers. Jonas does that in the music video, and it is truly inspiring for me. Can I do that? Is that what a beach day with Jonas is like? If so, sign me up.

Jonas put “Find You” on Sept. 14, 2017, and the whole world started bobbing their foremen. We know where to find you, Nick Jonas. You can find him on the radio until eternally because this song is catchy AF, y’all. So what does this music video really signify? Who is it about, and why is he driving an expensive gondola so close to the liquid? Watch out, buster! One of the melodics says, “I look for you in the center of the sun.” I have no clue what that could symbolize, but do not look instantly at the sunlight, beings. It’s not worth it to exclusively find a mystery girlfriend that deters concealing from you. No way.

This is Jonas’ second song to come out the summer months, and we aren’t mad about it. The anthem, “Remember I Told You” was the catchy song released after May. It featured Mike Posner and Anne Marie, and it showcased Jonas’ sultry voice. Mama like. Both songs are completely different, but these are sensual.

One thing is for certain, Jonas knows how to connect with his fans. In October of 2016, he told

Heartbreak is a topic that a lot of beings relate to — the challenges presented by the next steps in your life, and when some openings close, and how you approach the next ones opening … I read pretty quickly that it was a lot of what my fans could relate to. It’s nerve-wracking when[ the finds] are as personal as the ones that I shared were. But I feel relieved when I use my writing as a road to treat — it’s extremely therapeutic.

Jonas is getting deep, and I like it.

Here are more lyrics to deeply analyze 😛 TAGEND

I took a pill but it didn’t facilitate me numbI see your appearance even when my gazes are shutBut I never genuinely know where to find you

I taste the words that keep falling out your mouthIf I could love you I would never put you downBut I never genuinely know where to find you

I’m guessing, based on the music video, Jonas is stumbling through a sweltering, steamy desert all alone, and finally experiences the beautiful California coast. Although one would assume the first stop “wouldve been” immediately into the monstrous body of water, Jonas instead dances with all the beautiful women working in the beach. Hey, we all have our priorities. Is he looking for that special woman “hes losing” long ago? Is he searching for himself? Oh, Jonas. You are a strange man.

At the end of the video, Jonas rushes into a Lyft on the beach and leaves. Yes, he gets into a freakin’ Lyft. I couldn’t think it is either, but it happened. Times that have intend, or is it ingenious product placement? Maybe a little bit of both, frankly. Although Jonas never seems to find who he’s looking for, the music video is a luscious treat.

Now, let’s all get out there and shake our hips to this sexy little song and find our inner dance! Afterall, we’re all looking for something.

Nationalist Freedom party prescribes tint of Sundays election, as Social Democrats defiled by dirty tricks strategy

Austrian politics is set to tip to the right less than a year after forestalling a far-right presidency by the populist Freedom party, with the party on track to emerge as bloc kingmaker in Sunday’s national elections.

Though currently fighting for second place behind 31 -year-old Sebastian Kurz of the centre-right Austrian People’s party( OVP ), the Freedom party has managed to dictate the agenda of awareness-raising campaigns centred mainly around immigration and dreads of progressive Islam, and will receive a last-stretch lift from a ” grimy campaigning “ row between the conventional core parties.

Neither Kurz nor incumbent chancellor Christian Kern of the centre-left SPO have ruled out entering a bloc with the Freedom party, whose current president Heinz-Christian Strache could become the first European politician with a neo-Nazi background to sit in government since the second world war.

If it participates government, the Freedom party wants to disavow migrants access to welfare payments, introduce Swiss-style referendums and pushed forward Austria to assembled the Visegrad radical of center European governments whose borders overlap with the 19 th-century Austro-Hungarian empire.

Founded by a former Nazi functionary and SS member after the end of the second world war, the Freedom party grew the first rightwing populist party to form part of both governments in postwar Europe when its late manager Jorg Haider entered a alliance with the conservative OVP in 2000- a that which was at the time met with outrage and economic sanctions from Israel and several EU member states.

A split in 2005 and Haider’s death in a car clang three years later appeared to have signalled the end of the anti-immigration defendant, hitherto 12 year later FPO agents is not simply self-confident of outstripping their best the consequences of the Haider times but have managed to turn Austria into what political scientists call a” net seller of rightwing populism”, pioneering strategies later adopted by far-right parties elsewhere in Europe.

Under the leadership of Strache, who was arrested by German police as a 20 -year-old for were participating in a procession organised by a censored neo-Nazi gesture simulated on the Hitler Youth, the FPO has professionalised its methods and swopped its campaign from broad-minded anti-foreigner sentiment to a more focused anti-Islam hyperbole as early as 2006.

For this year’s national elections, the party developed not conventional campaign ads but a short sitcom series called ” The Hubers”, which voices suspicions about welfare tourism and overcrowding to the resound of laugh without ever explicitly mentioning immigration.

Die Hubers- escapade one

” In terms of programme, the FPO have had an excellent safarus ,” said Thomas Hofer, an Austrian communication consultant.” They have managed to go on the two attacks without looking like they are going over the top .”

Kurz’s candidacy- which has in itself been quite rightwing- appears to have dented the Freedom party’s riches. The foreign minister prides himself on having delivered an result to the refugee crisis by closing the Balkan roadway in 2016 and pledges to reform the asylum method so that claimants in the future are handled via” recovery centres” outside the European Union. Predicts to fight political Islam feature heavily in Kurz’s manifesto.

Having produced the polls by a considerable margin since spring 2015, the Freedom party was leapfrogged by the OVP and the SPO after Kurz announced his run for chancellor during the summer. But political commentators argue that this has only prepared it easier for the rightwing populists to frame Austrian political debate.

” If they had been top of the polls at the start of awareness-raising campaigns, it would have been a nightmare for the FPO- they had no experience with that situation. But sitting outside third place has allowed them to dictate the orders of the day ,” Thomas Hofer said.

She said:” At first, the two centre defendants neglected Strache. Then they demonised him. But eventually they adopted his positions. That has dented their credibility. And the problem is that if they tack to the right, Strache can always go one pace further .”

While Kurz has pushed for fines for immigrants who refuse to take part in consolidation trends at institutions, the FPO’s manifesto asks scrapping integration routes for asylum seekers altogether.

In the case of Austria’s Social Democrats, credibility was further undermined by the revelation that an adviser working for Christian Kern’s party had created a group of websites churning out racist and antisemitic plot hypothesis in order to discredit Sebastian Kurz in the eyes of far-right supporters.

The shows around the so-called Schmutzkubel ( dirt bucket) liaison have applied the SPO on the back foot and unable to onslaught the Freedom party for their own negative campaigning and use of antisemitic rhetoric. On his Facebook page, Strache has repeatedly linked to sections which identify Hungarian-American financier George Soros as the shadowy instigator behind the refugee crisis or sanctions against Russia, similar to those apparently created by the dishonored SPO adviser.

Observers such as political scientist Christoph Hofinger believe that the Austrian left had failed to take the right measures to stop the recall of the rightwing populists even before the” grime campaigning” affair.

” Alexander Van der Bellen showed that you can win an election with awareness-raising campaigns built around a thought of all-inclusive, pro-European national identity ,” said Hofinger, administrator of consulting conglomerate SORA.” But the working party on the left never earnestly tried to understand how a Dark-green candidate managed to get over 50% of the voting rights .”

In a TV dispute between Strache and Kern on Monday, the Social Democrat been recognized that Austria should have provided restrictions for jobseekers from brand-new eastern European level of member states beyond 2011.” Kern could have framed his reply differently ,” said Hofinger.” He could have pointed out that the tourism industry in Tyrol or the care arrangement would have collapsed without migration from the East .”

In the same debate, Kern was asked if he would consider recruiting a bloc with Strache’s FPO.” As this debate has shown, we are macrocosms apart ,” replied the incumbent chancellor, without explicitly answering the issues to. Formerly the cameras had been turn off the light, Kern and his political resist Strache disappeared into a veiled angle of the studio’s balcony, for a cigarette and a long chat.

The format of this dreadfully dull show is identical to others of the Kardashian empire: wearisome scenes of parties sitting in kitchens not snacking cheese plates

Is there a less qualified actuality substantiate stellar than Rob Kardashian? If you lined up 10 people from the shedding file of A& Es Intervention and Rob Kardashian and had to choose one to base an ongoing television series around, would you ever pick him unless people know his last name? Isnt this a tragedy? Shouldnt we all be more unnerved?

Sunday nighttimes debut of the new E! succession Rob& Chyna labels the reappearance of the black sheep Kardashian to the public eye. Hes invested years of their own lives unwilling to leave his room, which caused him to gain( his terms) a control of weight. He examines less comfy seeing attention linked with other human beings than the little orphan daughter Newt from the movie Aliens. A Los Angeles Dodgers hat covers whats left of the poor people thin, matted fuzz. His wardrobe consists of T-shirts , nondescript jeans and sneakers. In other texts, when I watch this astoundingly depressing planned, I discover myself and what I might become( minus the millions of dollars ).

The first few minutes of Rob& Chyna intend to construct us sympathize with Rob and his pregnant fiancee Blac Chyna. As an aside, isnt it a bit horrid that Blac Chyna leads almost exclusively by the identify Chyna in the first chapter now that the original Chyna the former WWE wrestler has died? Its like ransacking through someones jewelry after a funeral.

Regardless of what you call her, Blac Chyna is the actual star of this see, even if her refer is second on the pavilion. She came up from the world-famous airstrip societies of Atlanta and grew something of an entrepreneur, at least in the way that we characterize that statement in 2016. She took the Kardashian template of monetizing tabloid villainy through a sect of temperament social media ubiquity, labelled produces, and now, the final segment of the baffle, an E! actuality dealership. Shes become a major supporting player in the ongoing Kardashian meta-narrative having a baby with the rapper Tyga, who then leaves her for Kylie Jenner, which leads to Chyna joining obliges with Rob. Whether or not her relationship with Rob is genuine or a calculated effort to increase her making potential is not for me to decide (* cough its bullshit cough *) but what is is whether or not this Tv show is good. Its not.

I said here today that the producers of Rob& Chyna( which include the titular Rob and Chyna among their ranks) do try to spice events up. Scott Disick appears in the role of Robs only friend in the whole world and his chauffeur, schlepping him around Los Angeles like a pasty white Morgan Freeman from Driving Miss Daisy. Theres a memorable vistum where Rob goes into Chynas home in full Eeyore mode, carrying heydays to apologize for texting bitches. Chyna isnt having it, grabs the flowers, chucks them in a pool, then kicks Rob out of her home. This is the turning point of the alleged narration, as the rest of the escapade involves Chyna trying to get Rob to text her back, as she has seemingly forgotten that she hollered at him to leave her alone while pee-pee all over his romantic gesture. Im sure Rob Kardashian, AKA Calabasas Morrissey, certainly took that well.

Finally, Kris Jenner, matriarch of the expansive Kardashian family and former nemesis of Blac Chyna, appears to counsel Chyna on how to deal with Rob. Jenner is shown to be so prudent that I half expected her to have grown a beard, picked up a large twig, and thrown on a pointy hat off-screen. Much has been made of how Blac Chyna is so shrewd and took down the Kardashians by getting engaged to Rob. Thats a neat little underdog narrative, but if you think that Kris Jenner isnt ingeniou enough to use this to her advantage and will be the eventual winner of this dim-witted contest, then you arent paying attention to the evidence. Thats fine, since it probably formed you pass out from apathy, but the facts of the case remains that one of the last faces you see in this first chapter is Kris Jenner. The whole stupid endeavour is hers and hers alone. Chyna can have a piece, as long as she offer her taxes to her feudal lord.

And they are Rob. At last-place, they found a route to monetize his mopey face and wrinkled robes. Instead of a Shrek-like person they hinder locked away in a cellar, he has his own see, which merely furthers the aims of their own families. In exchange, this soul who possibly has real clinical depression has to pretend to be a Tv superstar. By collision, E! has stumbled upon the saddest testify on tv, so filled with existential hopelessnes that youd premise it was drummed up by a government-funded writer in some mushy Scandinavian country over a bottle of inexpensive scotch. If you watch more than one of the following options occurrences, youll perhaps find yourself not leaving the house for years, just like Rob Kardashian.
